Profast Group Sale to Steelmasters

It’s with great pleasure that we advise that Profast Pty Ltd and Profast (WA) Pty Ltd have joined the Steelmasters Group of companies.

The Steelmasters Group based in Auckland New Zealand, is a privately owned company that encompasses 4 Steelmasters branches in New Zealand and 6 Boltmasters branches in Australia.

Trevor Brown, our former Managing Director and founder of the Profast Group will be transitioning to a well-earned retirement over the next few months whilst still consulting to the group on a part time basis.

For both our Brisbane Head Office and Perth branches, it is business as usual with no changes to customer accounts, products or staffing. We will still be providing the same high quality products with the outstanding level of service and expertise that we are known for.

Moving forward, we see great benefits for our customers from the new group including a much larger distribution footprint for the Profast range of industrial fasteners and tooling. With Boltmasters branches in Melbourne, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Emerald, Townsville and Cairns, customers will have the option to purchase the Profast range from their local branch while being confident they have the expertise and backing from both Profast and Boltmasters. In addition, our customers will also have access to Boltmasters’ extensive range of nuts, bolts, screws and other fasteners through the Boltmasters network.

We appreciate your business and look forward to your continued support.

Profast are your specialist partners when it comes to providing the very best in fastening products. Profast’s product range primarily consists of specialist rivets, rivet derivatives, two-piece fasteners, threaded inserts and the associated installation tooling. Presenting customers with a range of solutions using only the highest quality parts. A main point of difference is that Profast remains an independent broker rather than as a proprietary distributor allowing continual evaluation of all products and selecting only the best. Founded in 2000, Profast continues to ensure a high level of service, quality and experience for industries requiring solutions to their fastening applications, rather than just a standard part number.
